How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A holiday rom-com about clashing personalities and family dysfunction that finds genuine warmth beneath the fish-out-of-water chaos. It's a comfort-watch that earns its sentiment through comedy-of-errors mishaps and found-family moments.

When this movie came out, I didn't like it. Now I've come to embrace that sometimes a Christmas movie will be about Luke Wilson immediately and relentlessly hitting on his brother's girlfriend (which either no one notices it is bothered by), a couple splitting up to date the other's sibling instead, and a parent having cancer. I love mean Rachel McAdams, and I love Claire Danes, so I guess this is all fine now.
